Sony VS Flexview

Which is better as an all around quality screen?

or

Lenovo's Flexview technology?

Well, they are completely different technologies and totally a personal preference. FlexViews are a matte screen while the Sony Xbrite is glossy. The FlexView is the best matte screen I have seen. As for the glossy screens, while the Sonys are good, I personally would rate Fujitsus as better.

 

That's a very problematic question and here's why:

When you talk about Flexview, you talk about a specific LCD. While there are several different LCD panels that Lenovo calls "Flexview", they all come in the same size (15"), use the same technology (IPS), have comparable resolutions (SXGA+ and UXGA), similar brightness and contrast, matte finish and overall perform close to one another.

When you ask about "Sony" screens, there's no way to tell which screen you refer to. Sony, like most manufacturers has a wide variety of screens. Some of them may be matte, others glossy, they can use different technologies and a come in a whole variety of resolutions and other characteristics.

You're going to have to check specific models and consult people who have experience with those specific models. General as it is now, your queston cannot be answered.

 

The Sony screen would be a glossy 15.4 with xbrite technology (1080X800). I have also read that fujitsu make a great screen and zazonz's comment above, it seems to further that argument.

But xbrite technology is just sony's way of saying "glossy". All the different brands use different terms for the same thing. And the screens in some of the Sony's are in other brand names too. I'm not sure what screen brands Fujitsu uses...but I bet it's more than one. You can almost certainly find those screens in Fujitsu laptops in other brands, as well, too.

You kind of have to go by specific laptop models(and specific resolutions if they're customizeable) to compare. Like, one custom HP might have a res of 1440x900 and maybe that screen is great...but the WUXGA+ screen may not be as nice, even though it's a higher res. Probably manufactured by different companies or perhaps the same company, but obviously they're different model numbers.

 

Yes, like tullnd said, XBrite is just Sony's term for glossy. As far as I know, there are many different screens in the XBrite category.
